Bonus if they're actually useful. Double bonus for life-saving stuff. Winners all around.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Jake</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 21 Nov 2007 21:48:19 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Something Cool from OpenWorld</title><link>http://theappslab.com/2007/11/19/something-cool-from-openworld/#comment-2546569</link><description>The same company also has a solution for monitoring patients with heart disease that are prone to sudden weight gain. They monitor patient weight carefully using bluetooth-enabled scales and require patients to weigh themselves several times per day. Obviously, it can be defeated by just weighing a sack of potatoes, but most patients want to live, so that's not likely. Anyway, doctors and caregivers can monitor patient weight and address any sudden unexpected changes. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One other interesting thing about this environment is that it is built entirely on Windows servers running on VMWare ESX Server. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks, Jake, for the mention of Piocon and Your Choice Living. No one can actually verify that I work. I like to say it like this: "work".</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dan Norris</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 19 Nov 2007 23:07:42 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
